Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage ea

rners, 250 identified themselves as mid-level managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks.
Construct a 95% confience interval for the percentage of executives that preferred trucks. ( I know for sure that the answer is +or- 6.82%, but I need to know how to get this.)

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

6. – 4y + 8x = 32 for y
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The answer is: y=2x−8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add -8x to both sides.

8x−4y+−8x=32+−8x

−4y=−8x+32

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

−4y−4=−8x+32−4

y=2x−8

a family is building a rectangular fountain in the backyard. the yard is rectangular and measures 8x by 9x. The fountain is goin
densk [106]
Teachers often all this problem a donut problem because it’s like the donut hole getting cut out of the middle. The way that you solve this is to find the area of the whole yard and subtract the area of the fountain. Since they are rectangles we’re going to use A = LW
Area of yard - Area of fountain
A = (8x)(9x) - (2x)(5x)
A = 72 x^2. - 10 x^2
A 62 x^2
